Patently false. Under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, private businesses are prohibited from discriminating by race.

Giving knight odds to Black players actually insults them, because they feel that they can't win without extra help.

The players are fine, but we need to account for the racism of the system and actively right our past wrongs work towards amending the errors by increasing the amount of Black Players at the high levels of chess.

What a load of horse poop. Do you usually insult black people this way.

Russian troll...reported for racism

You called someone a Russian troll so you are equally as racist. I've reported you too.

A russian troll is someone whose job it is to instil hatred, division, and worry in western society.

Despite being pathetic nasty people, I do not attack them for their race.

Perhaps you should consult with your handler Ivan.

Why is there only white and black pieces in chess?! This is racist towards people in other races such as Asian and Latino! Chess.com needs to change this and also white and black should start at the same time!

You are definitely racist and judgemental towards Russian people. You are a sad person that feels the need to attack another race, such as Russians to cover up the fact that you are a worthless person of no value with nothing to offer. I don't have a handler and I don't need any handler, you fool. The people who are instilling hatred, division and worry in this country aren't Russians, how idiotic. The people who are instilling hatred, division and worry in this country are a bunch of leftist, inbred and freemasonic communists who bow down to Karl Marx and bolshevism. Stop blaming all your problems on Russia, you obviously are attacking people because they are Russian. You believe in fictitious Russian agents because you are too busy with your low quality viewpoints, which stems from an equally inept aptitude for dealing with problems in a patient and collected manner, so therefore you fail to realise that there is nothing intrinsically different about Russian agents in comparison to agents from any other part of the world, such as America with it's CIA. Grow up, it's finally time to step into the real world.

Its not racist because its based on color not race. Because of the way color works White and Black are polar opposites so its only natural to stick two opposite colors as opponents in a game.

Color =/= Race. Get that in your head

Race and racism is not something we can take lightly. Dont joke about it. ITS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE

There is a scary litte girl in my chess club (she's 11). She's a killer. How do we discriminate positively against her, as under represented people of older sort and other gender?

We all know what the insane leftists would do. They would arrest the group that they deem to be the "oppressor".

There's nothing wrong with joking about serious issues as long as the humour in the joke is clearly that of a joke and not done to belittle something.

There have been less than ten black grandmasters in history, and you're trying to tell me that this is okay??? Chess.com should take steps to promote diversity in the chess community by giving advantages to members of specific communities to finally get the race balance we need at the highest level. I am proposing knight odds or equivalent for everyone who puts Black as their race into chess.com. We must actively acknowledge past discrimination and make amends. What are your thoughts on this?

This is a great way to add more separation!!!
And besides, ever heard of "equal opportunity"? Ya a whole lot more fair and less racist than "equal outcome".

It is racist, because racism wants to categorize people for their intellectual capacities and their moral values, depending on their ethnicity. The pigmentation of hair, eyes and skin, are visible factors of these ethnical groups.

One could also argue, "racist" is not proper, since there is only the human race, then, perhaps, "species" (but not even so), and so, it's all about ethnicity. So, it should then be named "ethnism", but it's too late for that, the term "racism/racist" has been adopted by an overwhelming majority of the people, and a handfull of specialistrs in their offices are not going to be able to change that.

Race just means what country you come from. The Spanish race, the Germanic Race, the Jamaican race, the Latvian race, etc.

Doesn’t matter, that post was clearly sarcastic and it flew right over your head. Also have you ever heard of the Civil Rights Act Of 1964? My guess is not.

It's also Transphobic! the Kings and Queens should be gender-neutral so as not to offend the trans crowd and their virtue-signaling left-wing allies!
